The market ndvancei promptly to $1 CK > } , It acted tlrm nt $1. but gradually yielded to the pressure put on by the bear party. The decline wns vcri slow at first , but the down movement gnth eicd ns fractions dropped off. Some of the big operators Jumped In nnd pounded nt the market lu vigorous style. Place , the Pittsburg plunger , made the most noise It the pit , and probable sold ns much ns nny in dividual , getting out his line early. Hutob Insoti nuil Kc.im were also quoted as free sellers. The layer wns n bujcrontbe break however. May wheat broke to JI OS yl US\ It recovered to $1 OSJf " ' " 1 then about nooi sold down sharply tof 1.07V. December In the meantime having gone from Sl.iHl'i , to f 1 OIJ. and January from jl.0.1ag to fl.oi. The cov critic by shorts nnd purchases on suipport- ing ciders cat He'd the price of May up to $ l.03.Jjf , but the market did not hold at the improvement. The tone was weak nnd th tendency was to sell on rallies. A break to $1 07 % brought wheat to tbo lowest price touched since the price crossed these liguros on the up turn , neatly sixty days ngo. Since then the market tins been up to $1.2,1 once ntid to $1.2.2 later. The break of Ific may bo considered as n pretty good shrinkage In values. Thu bears , however , Insist that price are jet too high. IJoinish influences arc certainly in control at this juncture , no1 only here , but in other markets Even in the northwest a great weakness I1 apparent , nnd No. 2 northern soH to-day as low ns $1 a bushel. This grade is not iniito up to our No. 2 , nnd little better than Chi cagoNo. 3. It this niurKct the difference between No. 3 and tbo speculative grade has been narrowed to lOc. MlllerH say this dis parity is still too great and that the differ ence , on the basis for current quotations for No. 2 , should not bo greater than 8c. The weather continues brilliant and the move incntof wheat In the northwest is large. There will bo a big increase in Minneapolis stocks this week and thu feeling up in that section is getting bearish , judging from the advices that drift in. New York broke 2c before 12 o'clock and closed soft. The other Anieiicati markets share in the weakness shown nt the larger centers , anil-cable news is notcncour- agine to bulls. The raid tins morning in this market biought out a great lot of long wheat , nnd rather shook ) the faith of some bulls , .lust before the close the market cased off uuickly , and thu closing quotation for Mav was" fl.OS'f , , December resting nt $1 05 , und January at * l.04J . This shows a shrinkage , compared with iesterday , of 2' ' e m Decem ber , 2'jc in January , and 2JMo in May. The closingrango is abmittho bottom forthcvveek. This nggrogutoof trttdingln the pit was large. The public is not , hs yet , taking hold with the reckless nband6Vl'indicative of a sublime and deep seated confidence in the rock-ribbed solidity of the market at these prices. Wheat is coming in ( oo. fust , nnd going out thiough cxpoil aud consumption channels too slowly to suit the popular taste. The brilliant wenthor Is stimulating' country deliveries , though advices from the interior go to show that farmers are disposed to hang to their wheat like grim death , in the belief that the prices nre going to bo very high next spring. This is especially true of scctious of the northwest , and emphatically so of the largo distilets tapped by the Northern Pa cific , where the country's reserve , tightly held , are represented to bo heavy. Corn opened weak nnd lower , in sympathy with wheat , and as tbo latter became weaker after the opening , increasing courage to sell short was imparted to the local crowd of speculators. The opening prices were only about ' ( .c . under yesterday's close , except for November , which is exceptionally Influenced by tbo near close of navigation. The receipts were smaller than had been looked for , but In the temper of the operators they were quite largo enough , ana the Inter estimates ot 5b5 cars for Monday mcreused the beaiish feelings. The trading in the pit was dull and principally on local account , but there was a brisk business in the cash mnrkct , nt from I' lSfe under ycstcrdnv's prices , with premiums still being paid for jwrcels. No 3 , guaranteed ready for deliv ery on the vessels , not later than Monday , for Liverpool , remains firm and export in quiry at the seaboard is good. New Orleans shipped out 52,000 bushels iestci day , and the amount inspected out of store here was of peed projwrtions The prospect of _ heavier receipts , if the weather remains favorable , and the improve ment in the condition of near futures caused a heav feeling to predominate in the speculative minds. The course of the mar ket und the feelings all day was for lower prices , with closing prices at near the lowest point. November closed nt li'JJ c , being 17'jc ' under yesterday's closings ; December , at ! )7 ) > jC. when it closed , is Jffe lower , and Mav nt HSJiffrf.'ISJ.fc , shows a loss of ' { , © ' 40 for the for tlio day.

Jay Gould's Ways. Mr. Grutiily : I am nwuro tfedt Jay Goukl is not a new snbjeot to write on , but , as I huyc seen the man almost daily . I can tell you the truth nbout him , nntl nil writers huvo nntiiono that. Jny Gould ls _ a great coward. When out In the city alone nt night ho is in constant dread of being "hotted or felled with a sand bag. His roMdouco is on the corner of I ifth nvomio and Fortj- sovcnth street , nnd it is not an uncom mon thing for him to tun over to the "Windsor hotel , ditoctl.v jtcro s the street , for n little goip , or to visit j-oiuo railway nmgnnto who innj ho stopping there during his stay in the cit.v. He is quk'K in hi movements and in passing nlong the street ho looks furtively from side to side and evi-r nnd nnon behind him. In that little run fiom hi "own hoiiso to the hotel ho skijis nimbi } down the stops from tlio door , and skm-rios across the street us if he vvoio ptiMuc'd. If he meets sin.v oiio he v\ill look search- inglj , almost anUotislj into his faeo , and tit the umo time edge away. To too him n pci on would think that ho did not dri\v his breath fiom the time ho left his house until safe in tlio corridor rider of the hotel , and the change in the expression of his ftu-o apd his move ments indicate that ho is glad to bo in the bright light among men whom ho hmws. A a rule Gould does not go to the Windsor or any other place of resort oflener than twice a week. Ho spends his evenings in the soolusion of his homo in perfect contentment. Ho is Kno\ui to ho a thoroughly domesticated man , fond of his wife and family , and willing to Hiiuondor other pleasures , for to him the grcator enjoyment of their company. A pertoniil description may not bo out of place. To e\erlodv , ) in New York Gould is known ns "thulittle man. " Ho is much under the medium height and sk-iidor , but Ills liguro is neat and compact. His head is small , round and high , and built well tip from the forehead. His o\os are deep sot. black and sharp , and hi * no-o is straight and well formed. Hib lips nro thin and colorless. It is doubtful if any ono living in New York oversaw his chin. For twc'ttt.v years , nt least , ho has worn a long , full beard , which is kept elosolj trimmed on the chcoks , hut is allowed to extend down to about where the second stud in his shilt boLOtn would be. His head is covoied with a thick growth of. black hair that is line anil til Icy. His com plexion is quite sallow , and his genetnl demeanor is Suturninn and resjrvod. D ilis hands are small and shape ! j. They aio somewhat bony and sinewy in appearance , and look bettei in gloves than they do bare. In his dress Gould is o\.tremoly plain. For years his head covering has been a blade round hat , while during the summer ho bus ap peared in a stravy or tall white hat. His ftuorite suit of clothing is some thing approaching a dark stcel-giay or poppor-nnd-salt , cut in the oidmary business style. The vest buttons high n ] ) nil dor his beard , and it Ih onl\ , when ho turns his head that his black silk scarf is exposed. His collars and cults arc always bciupulously clean and white , but unostentatious. His feet are small and effeminate , lie is neat about his footwear , which ib bright in polish. In summer lie wears low shoes and bright socks. He adorns himself with no.jewelry ; and as often ns anything1 his watch is hold by a black silk guard. In conversation nbout business affairs Gould seems to coiisentrato his whole mind , not only on the subject , but the person ho is talking with. If lie is sit ting down ho ib sure to pickup some thing Iviilg on the table or desk near him. It may bo a penholder , a tooth pick or a seraof ] paper. He will twirl it between the thumb and forefinger of both hands while con versing , and every now and then i.iibo his eyes to look at the person addressing him. The glance is penetrating , and ho who meets it fools that Gould is not de pending on what ho sajs. but Is .seeking to unnly/o his words. His Keen -black eyes give great force to his inquiring looks , but there is no stare about them. Ho raises his eyes quickly and appar ently casually , but penetratingly. 'When ho asks a qnp.stion ho is very do- libcrato in his speech. He speaks in a low , pleasant tone , and Ilis questions are usually framed in a few words. It is a habit of his to allow the pei-hon seeking1 him to do the talk ing and to con line himsnlf to answering questions put to him. Tie is all thu while apparently giving the closest at tention and weighing carefully all that is said. Ho is non-committal , and very rarely makes up his mind to do or not to do a thing while the conversation is in pro gress. He will say that ho would like to consider the matter , or would be glad to see the poison again on the subject. It is rarely that Gould transacts any thing in the w.iy of physical business in Ins ollice , but he is capable of laying out enough work mentally in half 1111 hour to keep a score of dorks busy for a fortnight , lie seldom looks after de tails , but having llxcd his mind on tiio gonoro.1 scope of a plan , if ho approves it ho orders it to be earned out by ex po rionced managers. He is quick in thu transaction of his business , and if ho spates an hour for the consideration of any ono subject it iniiet bo of more than oidinary import ance. Ho has little communication with the people about him in business. His viow.s in rog.ird to nil 'alculationb or operations which he controls or con- tiols are convoyed through hid son , Georg * J. Gould. Gould likes the society of his employes , and is comparatively generous to them. Mon of special ability ho has great ad miration for and fully appicclates their worth. It is a singular fact that he very rarely likes to nee any ono in his borvico grow rich. Hoieasons that a .1 competency would make thu man indif ferent and indupundet , The language uned by Gould is plain , J but not ungrainmatical. Ho rarely uses 1 a word of live or six syllables , and \a \ al ways clear and to the point. H's man ner is refined and his words , like hi.s ways , it might he said , uio soft and gon- t\u" \ Whoiovor ho is lie IB retiring. niillillnc u Politician , J A farmer had a son who showed no special aptitude for business , and ho was piu/.lod what to do with him. Ho concluded to try an experiment , BO ho - locked the boy in a room in which there wore only a bible an apple and a dollar. A few mlnutoH later ho stole .f quietly to the room. He had made up J his mind that if ho found the boy eat ing the apulo he would make a good .7 farmer , if hu woru roiidini ? the liiblo ho should bo trained for thu pulpit , and if M ho had taken the money liis succchs an a hiokor , the farmer thought , was as M sured. Upon entering tlio room ho found the boy Hitting nnon tfco Hiblo , eating the apple , with the dollar in his pocket. The boy h.icatno an able poli tician. Another Itailrond ST.
